Insurance
I am in network with Premera, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and LifeWise
If you have another insurance that I am not in network with I am considered an "out-of-network" provider.
If you have out-of-network benefits I can provide you a monthly receipt called a "Superbill" for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement if requested.
*All clients are expected to understand their mental health insurance and coverage, and suggest you contact your insurance provider to learn about your coverage before our first session
What is a Superbill?
A Superbill is a receipt for behavioral health services. A Superbill is used so clients can get reimbursed for their behavioral health services by their insurance provider.
A Superbill will typically contain “service code”, “diagnostic code”, the date of the session, and the amount the client paid to the therapist for their service. All of this information is required when trying to receive reimbursement from insurance, however these items can and should be discussed with your provider.
When you request a Superbill for insurance reimbursement, know that your therapist/provider will need to disclose some of your personal health information (PHI) like your diagnosis. Please review privacy practices with your insurance carrier if you would like to better understand how they manage personal health information (PHI).
What Does Out-Of-Network Mean?
An out-of-network (OON) provider is a healthcare professional (therapist, social worker, doctor, etc.), who does not hold a contract with your insurance provider.
An out-of-network provider is paid directly by clients/patients. Out-of-network providers are not held to the specific rules dictated by insurance companies, such as session time limits, service codes, or diagnoses “covered”. Patients/Clients can submit claims to their insurance provider with a Superbill (please see above) and request reimbursement after providing services.
Depending on your insurance provider and plan details, the reimbursement amount may vary. For example, not all Premera plans have the same coverage; each plan has unique policies and coverage.
These are some questions you can ask your insurance carrier when you are exploring the option of working with an OON provider:
Do I have OON coverage for behavioral health?
What is my OON deductible? (This part is really important to clarify since many plans have a DIFFERENT OON deductible)
Once my deductible has been met, at what percentage does my plan cover OON behavioral health services?
